NON`REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

srncrrrcarron forming para of Letters Patent No. 677,913, dated .muy e, 1901. Application filed May 8, 1901. Serial No. 59,196. (No model.)

T @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Beit known that I, MARTN G. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Decorah, in the county of Winneshiek and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in N on-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to certain new and usefulimprovements in nonrefillable bottles,

and has for its object to produce a device of this nature which shall be highly efficient in its use and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With this and other objects in viewvmy invention further consists in the novel details of construction and combination of parts to be clearly described in the following specification and fully set forth in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like characters indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved device complete. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the separate bottle-neck, partly broken away, and showing the cylindrical casing partly in section. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of the piston-head and tube connected thereto. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bottle to which my improved device is to be attached; and Fig. 5 is a perspective View, partly broken away and in section, showing a detail View of the collar.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates the bottle, which may be ofany size, shape, or form, the neck thereof being eXteriorly threaded, as at 2.

The reference-numeral 3 indicates a collar which is interiorly and eXteriorly threaded and is provided with an inwardly-inclined -upper face 4, forming a shoulder, `as at 5.

The separate neckv 6 is interiorly threaded, as at 7, and is provided at the topthereof with the usual opening 8, in which is inserted the cork 9.

10 indicates ports which communicate with the opening 8 and the interior of the bottle. A cylindrical casing 11 is provided, near the top thereof, with a series of flat valves 12 of any ordinary construction. The upper part of this cylindrical casing is securely fastened to the separate neck 6 and has formed in its lowermost portion an annular seat 13. Slidably mounted within this cylindrical casing 11 is a piston-head 14, which is connected to a hollow cylindrical tube 15, which is open at its lower end and provided near the top thereof with ports 16.

The operation of myimproved device is as follows: When it is desired to empty the contents of the bottle or any part thereof, the cork 9 is withdrawn and the bottle inverted, whereupon the piston-head 14 will kby the action of gravity travel downwardly. When the piston 14 is in its lowest position, the ports 16 in the hollow cylindrical tube connected thereto will register with the vfiat valves 12, which will allow the liquid to escape through the ports 16, the flat valves'12, and the ports 10 by way of the opening S. The liquid will flow through the said tube 15, exert pressure on the fiat valve, and thus al-- low of its escape.Y

Iv may use any substance, such as cement or other means, for locking the annular co1- lar 3 and the separate neck 6 together which will prevent of their'being disengaged and the bottle relled. I do not claim this as part of myinvention, however, and no means is shown for accomplishing this object.

It is thought that the many advantages deA`4 rived from theconstruction of my improved bottle will be readily understood.v

It will be readily noted that variousV changes may be made in the details of construction and combination of parts without departing from the general scope and spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a bottle provided with an eXteriorly-threadedneck, a sleeve lsecured thereto, a separate neck secured to said sleeve, said neck having port-s formed there in, a cylindrical casing secured to said`separate neck, flat valves on said cylindrical casing, a piston-head secured in said casing, a tube connected to said head, said tube having perforations formed therein, substantially as described.

2. In combination with the exteriorlye loo neck, a series of fiat valves thereon, a seat at the lower end of said casing, a piston-head connected to a. tube mounted in said casing, said tube being provided with ports, substantially as described.

3. In combination with the exteriorlythreaded neck of et bottle, a collar exteriorly and interior-ly threaded mounted thereon, said collar being provided with an inwardly ,A inclined upper face, im interioriy-threztded separate neck secured to said collar, said neck having ports formed therein, a cylindrical casing connected to said neck, flat Valves in said casing, an annular seat at the bottom of said casing, a piston-head slidably mounted in seid casing, :t tube open at one end connected to said piston-head, said tube having orifices formed therein near its upper lend, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

MARTIN Gr. ALLEN.
